In true CPC style, we finished the day with drinks and some nibbles, the perfect way to finish the tournament. Thanks to Bob and Paul who organised the competition.
Silver Anniversary dinner a sparkling affair
Our 25th Anniversary Dinner was a brilliant success. Many members decked out in silver splendour to add to the celebration. We had a delicious three course meal.The main course of Beef Burgundy was lovingly prepared by chefs: Pam, Myriam, Coleen, Kathy and Greg (our executive chef). The video prepared by Rex took us on an entertaining and informative journey through the club’s history, amazing work Rex.
Thanks to all the chefs and Faye and Noella also on the organising team and Leigh for the brilliant table decorations. Thanks to members who stayed back late to help with the clean up. Special mention to Kathy who organised the event. She makes it all look so easy when in fact oodles of thought and effort go into make these functions so successful.
